Rail Trail Friends progress

As you may have already heard, the Friends of the Rail Trail (FORT) is thrilled to be 1 of but 8 groups to have been awarded a capacity building grant from Parks & Trails New York, out of 76 applications from 41 counties throughout the state!

FORT will receive $2,000 for printing and mailing/distribution of a membership and project information brochure to promote and engage community volunteer and financial support. A reminder of what FORT is: The Friends of the Rail Trail is a new committee of the Mohawk Hudson Land Conservancy (MHLC), and is dedicated to supporting and promoting the Albany County Rail Trail, and assuring its enjoyment by residents and visitors of all ages. The proposed Albany County Rail Trail will span 9 miles between Albany and Voorheesville.

Our January meeting will be held at 6:30 p.m. on Wed., January 28th. If you would like to attend, or want more information about FORT or are interested in volunteering, please email me at RailTrailFriends@gmail.com
